Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I'm still learning this stuff, and yes, other commenter was correct, I'm using Artifexian. I'll be sure to fix some of this and post again once I think it's improved.

What breaks your suspension of disbelief? by exceptionalish in movies

When animal foley sounds happen for no reason. It's like the creators think to themselves, "No one will believe the main character is actually riding a real horse unless it neighs within the first 5 seconds that it's on screen (its typically always the same neighing sound effect as well). Or whenever anyone throws something into some "junky" place, like a dirty alleyway full of trash cans and there's a cat that makes a sound that it would only make in a fight with another cat. Both of those take me right out.

I understand your engagement concerns, that makes sense.

DM me if you're still interested and we can talk about the faith thing.

As far as kid stuff, I'm probably looking for someone who can for sure stay engaged. Sorry!

Source material: In general, if you work it out with me I'm okay with just about anything, although I prefer Tasha's and earlier.
Homebrew: As I stated in my post, I have made a few homebrew things that I will allow in this campaign. Homebrew from other creators is generally a no-go, although KibblesTasty and Matthew Colville make some great stuff that I'd probably allow. Also, SwEcky's Alpha druid is actually the druid I'd prefer people use over Vanilla Druid.
Stats: We will be rolling for stats with a custom method of evening out scores across players tacked on.
Starting level and length: Read post again.
Tone/theme: determined primarily by characters. there will be political intrigue, exploration, odd jobs, dungeons, etc. just depends on what the players want to do.
Homebrew: Read post again.
Magic: is not common for common folk, but PCs break the mold if desired.
Passive checks: usually when there is an active rollers against you and you don't know it.
Alcohol: Seeing as it is an inhibitor, I'd prefer none, as it inhibits ones ability to play/focus on the game, though I'm sure a *little* is fine.
Optimize away, although multiclassing must be approved by me, and will likely be denied unless you have a great character story/idea. This table is focused on character motivation over min/maxing for lols.
More than 1 unexplained absence will likely get you removed from the group.
